Injury of a disc in the low back is the most common reason for chronic low back pain in adulthood. VA I-Spine Physicians use research supported exam techniques and diagnostic procedures to accurately detect a symptomatic disc. Treatments for these painful discs range from steroid injections to injections of reparative medicines into the discs. Degenerated discs can herniate allowing the inner nuclear material to escape outward inflaming and placing tension on a nearby nerve causing leg pain or sciatica. Herniated discs can be treated with steroid injections and sometimes removal of the herniation through an x-ray guided needle.
